Well it’s official I have just finished my last of my Guillain Barre Syndrome Plasmapheresis treatments today at the Saint John Regional Hospital. The nurses in the Plasmapheresis Department were amazing! I’ve been here for 5 days now for my plasma exchange treatments and they definitely made me feel comfortable during my stay here. I even got a shave and shampoo while getting my treatment yesterday buy two amazing nurses. They make you feel comfortable and shared a few laughs. I know one thing live life to the fullest as in a split second things can be taken away. I’m hoping that these Plasmapheresis treatments will help towards my recovery from Guillain Barre Syndrome and speed up healing my nerves so that I can get my life back.
The nursing staff and the doctors at the Moncton Hospital, the Saint John Hospital specifically the Plasmapheresis Department and the staff at the Stan Cassidy Rehab Centre in Fredericton have made this a little easier despite all the challenges I have faced. I’m heading back to Fredericton today at 3 PM to go back to rehab and further IVIG treatments. I’m hoping that these two treatments here will do the trick to get me back on my feet despite the poor test results I received last Wednesday from the nerve conduction test.
The ambulance has just dropped me back off at The Stan Cassidy Rehabilitation Centre in Fredericton. I am looking forward to resuming my rehab tomorrow and an additional 5 days of IVIG treatments here soon. I just have to stay positive, continue working out as hard as I do and pushing my body to fight through this. I have to stay hopeful that all these treatments and rehab will work and help me beat Guillain Barre Syndrome. One day at a time…
